Liquivision X-1 Dive Computer

The Liquivision X1 represents the cutting edge in technical diving computer technology. It has been called “the iPhone™ of dive computers” for its intuitive tap navigation, readability, compact size and open software platform, which come together to deliver an incredible diving experience. While the X1 is designed for technical divers, it is fully functional as a recreational or nitrox computer and offers the same enhanced diving experience.

The external construction consists of an anodized aluminium case with a highly durable mineral glass screen cover. Inside, the X1 is powered by a rechargeable lithium polymer battery. The need for failure-prone o-rings has been eliminated as all the internals are potted. The potting procedure effectively makes the computer one solid mass which ensures the X1 has no airspace to flood or crush.

Perhaps the most noticeable feature on the X1 is the bright and ultra-readable OLED display. In contrast to liquid crystal, an OLED display can be read from any angle, in complete darkness, at all times. As light conditions change, the OLED display brightness can be adjusted while underwater.

The X1 has an intuitive, patented “tap interface” based on accelerometer technology. The diver can easily control the X1 whether bare-handed or wearing thick dry gloves with extra liners. Navigating the X1 is extremely easy and efficient. The user gently taps the unit in any of four directions to scroll through the menus and functions. Due to the innovative tap interface, the X1 requires no buttons.

The X1 is built with an open software platform that allows the owner to select the software/algorithm s/he wishes to use for dive planning. There are currently two software packages available that can be used for any gas mixture and will work for both Open Circuit and Closed Circuit diving: GAP and V-Planner. There are no keys to buy or upgrades to make – one download gives the user full functionality.

In contrast to other “brick” style computers, the X1 is very streamlined. Low profile and without edges or angles to snag, the X1 is convenient and easily managed. It is shipped with a depth-compensating strap. A Bungee Mount manufactured by Deep Sea Supply is available separately.
